I was craving something sweet and a great latte on a Friday night, and this place was the perfect find! They're open late and offer delicious gelato, affogatos, lattes, and cookies. The staff was friendly, let me sample a few gelato flavors, and gave excellent recommendations. I ordered the latte macchiato, and it was hands down one of the smoothest, best-balanced espresso drinks I've had. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating made it a great spot to relax. I'll definitely be back! read more

Bacio di Latte remains one of my favorite dessert stops and I think this Newport Beach location is one of their newer ones I ordered my usual, the peanut butter caramel chocolate gelato in a kids cup and it was so good as always. Rich, creamy, intensely peanut buttery, and even better with the chocolate topping and crunchy caramel. Also the kids size is plentyyyy My cousin got the classic Bacio di Latte sweet cream flavor with rainbow sprinkles, and it literally looked like a gelato dot cake. The service is sweet, parking is so easy, snd the store has that same cute Italian vibe that I love about all of their locations I was secretly hoping they'd have the chocolate pistachio crunch, but they were sold out when we stopped by. Guess I'll just have to come back sooooon read more

Gelato was good, but service was very poor. I'm vegan so I tried the Vegan Chocolate and Raspberry. I got the smallest scoop and the serving size was plenty! However, despite the line only being one or two more pairs after us, we felt very rushed... and noticed that not a single employee smiled or showed any kind of customer service. Maybe they were all having a hard day, but for three out of three employees to appear like they despise their job, it was not very welcoming. I tried Bacio di Latte since it was open later and my favorite Gelato place was closed for the evening. This experience left me not wanting to return. Parking is easy. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Bathroom inside! read more

Bacio Di Latte - Vegan Chocolate & Raspberry - Gelato Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I love Bacio Di Latte. I say this as someone who ate gelato through my way in Italy from Venice to Rome. Bacio Di Latte is MY FAVORITE gelato shop. This location of Bacio Di Latte is in the Westcliff Newport Beach area, in the same plaza as Pressed Juicery and The Chicken Shop. This is a really prime location with plenty of parking in the area. They have a few seats inside and plenty of seats outside shared with the plaza. I took my boyfriend here so he can enjoy some premium gelato with me. We shared a Regular Cup ($8.95) which allows you up to 3 flavors. Staff was very kind with offering samples. We ended up choosing the mint chocolate chip, liana's shortcake, and hazelnut. Every flavor was well developed and the consistency was smooth. It is exactly as gelato should be. I could have eaten it all by myself but I must really adore my boyfriend to share with him. A few of my other favorite flavors here is the namesake bacio di latte, tiramisu, salted caramel, coffee, and pistachio. It all depends on which flavors I'm in the mood for. Admittedly on the pricey side but you pay for quality. read more

Every time I think about gelato, I think about an acquaintance I had that made her summer Italy trip her entire personality. She would never stop talking about how gelato is so much better than ice cream and how I just "wouldn't get it." Do I still talk to her? Absolutely not. But do I get it now? Without a doubt. As much I hate pitting sweet treats against one another, gelato is truly superior to other variations of milk, cream, and ice. Bacio Di Latte in particular was super delicious and made my sweet evening that much sweeter! I loved that we were able to sample different flavors so I can get a better idea of which one(s) I wanted to commit to. The flavors I ended up choosing were tiramisu and pistachio, which are generally my go-to flavors as a first timer. I'd come back here if I was nearby, even if the parking situation for Irvine Spectrum is less than savory. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Tiramisu and pistachio gelato - Gelato Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I'd pick this location for what might be the quietest of the three local ones around Orange County. The shop is clean and bright, and there's actually some places to sit compared to the Fashion Island location. Presentation is lovely and the gelato is top notch. I've always appreciated that the shop offers samples, which is important in my unofficial book of ice cream. (Because how can you have all these cool flavors but not offer samples to the people. This is what I appreciate about Bacio.) Service is rough depending on when you go. Great customer service but terribly understaffed. I felt awful for the associate working the day I went. The person was just by himself handling everything. This is clearly something management needs to do better with staffing. The hour I was sitting there, it was nonstop flow of people coming in and only 1 person handling everything. No other associate was in sight. The associate really did the best he could and earned every friggin' penny and tip that shift. I hope Bacio does better there for its associate and the customers. As for the gelato, as I mentioned, great varieties and solid presentation. read more

I came here on a Monday around 3pm. Parking was easy to find. I like the atmosphere and the decoration. The icecream was rich and creamy. However, I feel like the portion was too small for the price. Also, I don't like the fact with 4 flavors mixed into one tiny cup. It made the experience less enjoyable. read more

I love Bacio Di Latte! I was so excited to hear about the 50% off affogato special this month. I got two scoops of chocolate & hazelnut with 2 shots. Definitely want to go back before the special ends. I wish I got the name of the guy behind the counter but he was very helpful and friendly! read more

Bacio Di Latte - Affogato - Gelato Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Bacio Di Latte opened in this location not too long ago and it's really really really good.The gelato is super creamy and not overly sweet. Pistachio and Bacio di latte flavors we tried and were both excellent. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. The shop is clean and modern, staff was friendly, and portions were solid. A little pricey, but worth it. Great new dessert spot and will definitely be a go-to option. read more

Solid spot to get gelato. I was impressed by all the flavors and I got my usual affogato. I like to get it with the pistachio flavored gelato. The staff is friendly and will allow you to try flavors. This one is less crowded than the Newport one. I would recommend it. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Gelato Near Me - Newport Beach, California

unfortunately, I have to give this 1star even though we love this ice cream and we've been customer since they 1 of the fashion Island location. I think that was one of the first locations of this brand and we always been a customer for this shop and they have amazing ice cream in fact, but however, in this location, I just found out that they changed the rewards app probably and you cannot use the rewards towards a particular ice creams, which we used to always get it in fashion Island all the time it used to be on Cash App now they switched it to toast app and therefore we have like so many points to use, but I was not able to get it so we're gonna stop going there! . we spent so many thousand dollars all over LA and Orange County in this ice cream shop. We brought a lot of friends and family at all the time but we will definitely gonna stop going there and I will also make sure my friends know about thi as well , also at this location the customer service is not as nice and friendly and professional at all. also not as clean and pristine as the other locations. read more

The reason we have been going to Bacio Di Latte for the last 6 years in Century City-LA/Fashion Island -OC and 17th Street-Costa Mesa, OC because they have a great gelato. Yes we are Europeans and we know how the gelato should taste and we meet with our friends there quite often. Our favorite was Hazelnut (my favorite) 5and Pistachio 5. Unfortunately they replaced Hazelnut flavor with Torino Crema that can't even compare 1 . It would be nice if you bring it back !!! If not you lost a long time customer! read more

If you're looking for gelato in the U.S. that comes closest to what you'd find strolling through Italy, Bacio di Latte is a strong contender for the title of best gelato in America. Gotta love their stracciatella in their Ciocchino cone. Service is amazing and the ambiance is just very cozy. read more

This is my fav gelato spot. I am so happy they keep opening more locations. I used to drive all the way to Culver City for their guava gelato! They are always so friendly. There is usually always a line but it moves quickly! It is so cute and aesthetic inside, makes me wish they sell merch. read more

Popped in 5Mins before they was gon close at 11PM and the server was kind enough to give us ample samples of the flavors we wanted to try. Their gelato is the BEST I've tried and a wide variety of flavors ones palette can indulge in. Their interior aesthetic of the place reminded me of some outdoor European patio or cafe with calm, serene, peaceful colors within almost heavenly-like. Try this place for your ice cream / gelato fix and you will be transfixed! read more

This is by far the BEST bacio di latte location! There is never a line out the door and the quality + service of Bacio remains the same! There are some tables inside and outside to enjoy your gelato experience. I tried the cocco rio and tiramisu the last time I went... I still dream of that tiramisu. Honestly all flavors I've tried via the free samples are incredible- including the dairy free sorbets. Do yourself a favor and come support this new location! read more

What a cute coffee and gelato place ! It is clean, well lit and decorated with adorable coffeewares. You can sample gelatos if you need to compare what you like . read more

I visited right at opening time and was immediately charmed by the vintage vibe of the shop. They have a lovely outdoor seating area, which is perfect for enjoying the breeze. The gelato here is exceptional--the texture is perfectly creamy and chewy with just the right amount of sweetness. Each flavor tastes incredibly authentic. I tried the Yogurt, Coffee, and Pistachio, and they were all a solid 5/5. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Nice and Friendly staff. read more

While I am a regular and the gelato is always superb, this review is mainly about the exceptional service I received today from VINCENT. He certainly deserves a raise. He was welcoming, friendly, and very patient. He offered to mix flavors for me and went above and beyond to make sure I am satisfied and he did it all with a smile. Thank you Vincent. In a time where everyone cuts corners and customer service is nonexistent, this interaction brightened my day. I used to go to a different location but from now on This is going to be my go to store simply because of the level of service I receive there. Keep up the good work 10/10. read more

Just delicious! We had strawberry cheese cake, chocolate and butter cream pretzel flavors. I would recommend butter cream pretzel and strawberry cheese cake. Other flavors are good too (we tried sweet cream and other flavors as well). I would visit this place again. Services and the vibes are great too. read more

Bacio Di Latte - Gelato Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Amazing affogato with many choices of gelato to choose from. The salted caramel may be my favorite.

Their gelato is hands-down, the best gelato! But, I ordered a kid size because I didn't want too much and they didn't even fill up the actual kid size cup! They gave me half of a half of a scoop! It was pretty ridiculous for almost $8 to barely get two bites full. I wish I had taken a picture. I don't know if it's always been like this or because the Gelato Paradisio in the food court in fashion Island closed- now they don't have competition & can skimp on the scoop. My son's regular sized scoop was definitely not the amount that they usually give either- things have definitely changed, in my opinion. read more

Absolutely the best gelato I've ever had and I've had a lot. Stopped after a club bike ride. I'm going to make this my go to after every ride. I bet I'll double my mileage. read more
